Porthmadog

I visited Porthmadog on Thursday. Google maps told me that the maritime museum would be open. However, when I got there, the sign said that it is only open during the summer.
I took a walk around Lombard Street and Garth Road and got some nice views of the harbour. The hill at Moel y Gest looked like a nice little walk but I didn’t have time to go up there. I got some fish & chips at The Creel and I went and had a couple of pints in The Australia whilst I waited for my train.
I thought that the town was quite English speaking compared to a lot of the other places in the area that I had visited. There seemed to be quite a few brummies.
There was a bench with a plaque on that it said that you could scan to learn about the history of the harbour. However, this didn’t work and when I spoke to their support team, it said that the project had been discontinued.
I was a little disappointed, as Porthmadog seemed like a beautiful place. I am sure that they could have done more to share their local history and to encourage people to visit.
The highlight really was getting a pint of Purple Moose for £3.50 instead of £4.50 because the landlord under-charged me. However, my plan wasn’t really to sit in the pub and drink beer. I left feeling a little bit disappointed.
